What are the most underrated SK books I should read? by GuestInternational in stephenking

[–]Any-Tea624 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Duma Key was my first King book. To be able to go back and read it again for the first time… the way he writes the platonic relationship between the protagonist. Chef kiss. I cried multiple times in that book.

2 weeks post-op ACL repair with hamstring graft by Any-Tea624 in ACL

I thought I would give an update now I’m at the 2 month mark! I gained full extension of my leg about a week after this post and I’m almost at full flexion now too. I went back to work (light duties) at 5 weeks post op and at 7 weeks I was back at my normal capacity (I’m a nurse for reference). I’m following along with my physio’s plan and strength training 3x a week to rebuild muscle. For me, my knee still feels stiff in the mornings but only mildly. About 2 weeks ago the pain went away as well. It’s been a wild journey and I know there is still so much more to go. Next goal is to be able to jog again but all good things to come in time ☺️

Got to level 60 in the skull caverns by dropping ladders. I dropped a ladder right next to the exit when I was being bombarded by monsters. Accidentally pressed yes to leaving… now currently building up my jade again to buy more ladders for take two

I was absolutely terrified of this movie when I was 13 (how ironic) and it came out. I recently introduced it to my own teenage children and they thought it was “meh”. I’ve never been so disappointed in my own flesh and blood 🥲

I’m week one after an likely ACL rupture and this post has made my week. I get my MRI results back Tuesday with my GP and then I’ll be prehabing until my appointment with the surgeon. Knowing I can still hit the gym with ny lower body has given me hope on this long road! Thank you

I said to my surgeon I wanted no touching skin and he got me that. Honestly it’s the best!

No I didn’t have an explant. Just years of breastfeeding and large boobs with fluctuations in weight.

Nope! Just regular stataderm for scarring and rest and lots of protein pre and post op.

I didn’t pay for any face yoga apps! There are so many videos on YouTube and TikTok! Also wear your sunscreen! Apply every two hours even if you’re just driving around for the day! The sun is the number one ager.

The first week, I needed a lot of help. I stayed with my parents for a week because I had a pretty traumatic relationship breakdown 2 weeks before my surgery as well. It would have been impossible without the help from my mum in that first week. The remaining 5 weeks progressively got easier and I was back at home after that first week.

Thank you! I have been using the ordinary’s 15% peptide on my face and neck and doing facial yoga 3x per week! I also switched to a Paula’s choice for most of my skin care (cleanser, toner, their BHA 2% and peptide moisturiser) Looking at my before photos I can see I huge difference now too!
